Wait for valid axis position (WAITENC)

Function
Using the language command WAITENC, the NC program waits until the synchronized or
restored axis positions are available for the axes configured with

An interruption can take place in the wait state, e.g. by starting an ASUB or by changing the
operating mode to JOG. When the program is continued, where relevant, the wait state is
resumed.
Note
In the user interface, the wait state is displayed using the hold state "Wait for measuring
system".
